The Question:

Why does the signal change when an emergency vehicle goes through?

 

The Answer:

Nearly all fire, rescue and ambulatory vehicles in Seminole County are equipped with transmitters that can pre-empt signals during an emergency.   The transmitters allow the vehicles to change the signal indications to green for their desired direction in order to travel to their destination quicker.  Once the vehicle passes through the intersection, the signal will return to normal operation within a few minutes.
